Chapter 277 Cao Cao's Aspiration
Chapter 277 Cao Cao's Ambition
Just when Cao *** and Guo Jia were discussing the situation in the world, Xun Yu stood straight outside the door, with a little restrained expression. At the beginning, he was worried that the arrogant Guo Jia would bump into Cao *** in his words, or that Cao *** did not like Guo Jia's personality, so he could deal with it. In this way, Guo Jia would definitely be able to see it.
When laughter kept coming from inside the house, Xun Yu also had a smile on his face. He knew that it was a foregone conclusion that the lord recruited Guo Jia to the tent, and Guo Jia's strategy was better than Xi Zhicai. With his help, the lord would be like a flying Qianlong, unattainable.
Cao *** in the room continued: "I didn't expect that Fengxiao's understanding of the current situation is so clear and his analysis is very reasonable. But many things have just happened not long ago, and you lived in seclusion in Yingchuan, so how did you know?"
Guo Jia bowed and looked calm, "Meng Degong, I'm not to hide it. Jiazi likes to make friends with talents from all over the world. If you meet someone you are in love with, you can still chat without sleeping for three days and three nights. Although I live in seclusion in Yingchuan, my contact with various places has never been interrupted. We exchanged local news and views on the current situation with each other. In addition, our Guo family has a small industry, so I can also direct some people to inquire about information for me. That's all."
Cao chuckled and said, "Fengxiao is really a person of intent. Fengxiao lives in Yingchuan, and I believe he knows very well about the new Yuzhou governor Sun Jian."
Guo Jia clicked and replied: "Sun Jian, Sun Wentai, is a general like a tiger. He is very skilled in martial arts and has many generals. He is brave in fighting. It can be seen from the battle he led Changsha soldiers to sweep Yuzhou. However, Sun Jian is more suitable to be a vanguard to defeat the enemy and take the head of the general from a million troops. It would be very difficult to let him become the governor of Yuzhou. Although he was determined to manage Yuzhou well, he did not understand political strategies and had no capable civil servants except Lu Fan. This Yuzhou is already barren and was even more poorly managed by him. I heard that even the army's food could not be supplied."
Cao ***'s eyes flashed with disdain and asked, "Sun Wentai occupies several counties in Yingchuan, and the Yingchuan area is full of talents. Could it be that he has not recruited a few capable people?"
Guo Jia replied: "He has sent people to those big families, but because he had already offended all the aristocratic families and wealthy families in Yuzhou. Who would be willing to send his son to his tent?"
"Haha~~" Cao *** smiled, "In the past, Sun Wentai led his troops to capture Luoyang City first, and Dong Zhuo fled when he heard the news. How might he be! What a shame he was! Although he was ambitious, he had no experience in handling government affairs. At best, he was just a martial artist. By the way, let's talk about Ma Teng, Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which was a nightmare for infantry."
Guo Jia bowed and said, "In Jia's opinion, Ma Teng is also a martial artist, just like Sun Jian. Since Dong Zhuo's death, the generals of the Xiliang army were slaughtered by Lu Bu, leaving only Xu Rong and Zhang Ji retreating to one side. Now the most powerful people in Xiliang are Ma Teng and Han Sui. They occasionally plunder Jingfu, Wang Yun and Lu Bu can do nothing to them. They have no strength to fight for dominance in the world, but they can become powerful arms of the overlords of the world. As for Lu Bu, who is known as the lone wolf in the desert, he is just a reckless man. Even if he is given some opportunities, he will not be able to become a climate."
Cao *** showed a thoughtful expression when he heard this, but he secretly said in his heart.
Guo Jia became more and more interested in speaking, and his speech speed gradually became faster. "There are also Liu Bei and Liu Xuande, who claimed to be the descendant of King Jing of Zhongshan. Although he had the means to charm the people, he was born at the wrong time and had not developed yet. Wen was not as good as Jian Yong, and he was not as good as Guan Yong. Zhang, now he has received the help of the Mi family in Donghai, and may be able to make trouble for a few times. Generally speaking, unless he meets a god-like figure who can point him out the strategy, he will be submerged in the long river of history... So many heroes of the world mentioned above, but they are not the ones I am most interested in."
Cao *** asked in a cooperative manner: "Oh, which person are you interested in?"
Guo Jia paused, his brows frowned slightly, his eyes condensed, as if this person made him unable to guess and see. Guo Jia said slowly: "Jiang~dong~zhou~lang!"
"Zhou Yu?" Cao uttered softly, but did not show any surprise. In recent years, Zhou Yu has been a foreigner. Now he has occupied the six counties in Jiangdong and is looking at the Central Plains. In Cao utterly, he has already vaguely regarded Zhou Yu as his biggest opponent.
Guo Jia nodded solemnly and emphasized: "It's him, Zhou Yu and Zhou Gongjin! Although he is only twenty years old, his actions are far beyond his peers. His performance can no longer be described as wonderful. Excellent, and it can be said to be unprecedented!"
Cao *** agreed in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be dissatisfied, his eyes closed slightly, and he shook his head and said, "You are a bit big. The ancient young heroes are emerging one after another. Zhou Yu just relied on the influence of his family in Jiangnan and recruited some outlaws to serve him. Yangzhou is far less prosperous than the Central Plains, and is located in the southeast, and it is not a place to establish the foundation of an emperor."
Guo Jia smiled and said, "This is probably not the truth of Meng Degong? I won't say anything else, just talk about the Guandong Alliance Army's attack on Dong Zhuo, Zhou Yu, as the vanguard, defeated Zhang Ji, attacked Xingyang, and killed Hua Xiong. Is this all you have seen with your own eyes?"
Cao *** pretended to be helpless and said, "Well, uh~~I do know, there is indeed this."
Guo Jia didn't want to argue too much with Cao *** on this issue. He changed the topic and said, "These are all things in the past. In fact, so far, Zhou Yu is still a mysterious figure in my heart. I have collected a lot of information about him, but I can't analyze why he can predict the enemy's opportunity first, why he has so many novel ideas, and used them in internal affairs, so that Jiangdong will present a prosperous scene."
Cao *** seemed unwilling to Guo Jia always mention Zhou Yu and replied: "Maybe he is lucky, but his luck will not continue to be so good."
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Maybe. Meng Degong must have paid much attention to him, and I won't say much. This person will definitely be Meng Degong's biggest opponent in the future. I hope you can make a countermeasure soon."
Cao *** nodded and said, "I have recorded the words of Fengxiao." Then, Cao *** asked with a smile, "I've finished talking about others, should Fengxiao talk about me?"
Seeing Cao *** ask this, Guo Jia knew that he was formally testing his attitude, so he bowed to Cao *** with a respectful expression and replied: "Meng Degong is an extraordinary person and a superb master!"
Cao*** laughed and hurriedly said, "You dare not take the words of filial piety, but you dare not take them."
Guo Jia smiled and said, "Mr. Meng Degong doesn't have to be too humble. Hearing that you can't put down your books, you will talk about martial arts strategies, and you will think about the scriptures at night. For subordinates, you will not doubt people, and you will fully authorize them, and all subordinates will use their lives. How can a person who is so attentive to you fail!"
Cao *** smiled and waved his hand, saying, "If you praise me, you don't need to say anything else. Just now, Feng Xiao has analyzed the heroes in the world, and my insightful insights have convinced me. To be honest, the Han Dynasty is no longer popular with the people, and I do have the ambition to compete for the world. But as you analyzed, I am surrounded by tigers and wolves staring around me. How can I achieve my ambitions, make the country strong and prosperous, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and I am short-sighted and ask Feng Xiao for advice!"
